OUCH: Fox News Trump defender turns Trump: Now there is a 'there!' (VIDEO)

Donald Trump cannot be happy with the Trump propaganda TV station, Fox News, these days. It seems that the news portion of the network has turned against his administration. No! Some of them are attempting to report the news. This one hits Trump hard.

Fox News' Charles Krauthammer, a staunch Trump defender, did not pull any punches as he went after Donald Trump Jr. and the administration. Over the last several weeks, many of the news hosts at Fox News have had the administration in their crosshairs, specifically Chris Wallace and Shepard Smith.

Fox and twits claimed the Russian lawyer was really not a lawyer.

The five last night started off with nothing to see here.

Tucker Brown nose talked so much about Clinton wrong doing you would think she were President.

All shows yesterday teased Hannity show with Don Jr sets record straight.

He's a commentator on Foxnews, he knows what side his bread is buttered,

like an alligator, he's just going with the flow, when he sees weakness, BAM

Now to mix my metaphors, the Sharpes sense blood in the water

The idea the kraut is a staunch Trump defender bears no semblance to reality.

He has been anti Trump for a long time.

is the day we should start watching the Republicans for signs of movement toward impeachment and removal. Some viewers insist that their tasty lies at least have a little truth center, and for them the Krauthammers, etc., provide the required recipe. It's just part of Fox's balancing act and not to be confused with reporting the truth.

He seems to be of the Bill Kristol/George Will/David Brooks intellectual conservative school of thought for people who are deeply embarrassed at the fact that Donald Trump is considered the standard bearer for the right and the Republican Party.

I mean, it sucks to be them, but what else can I really say? He's your problem, not mine.

As for Shepard Smith and Chris Wallace, I would probably say those are the only two prominent members of Fox who attempt to resemble actual journalists. I appreciate their resistance to peer pressure to become Trump cheerleaders, but they're still on a fool's errand and no one in Fox's demographic is going to be swayed by real journalism any day soon.
